I currently am with verizon and have the blackberry tour which i love, but i do miss the original iPhone i had back when it first came out. Im wondering how many of you use two cellphones and for what use and is it worth getting an iPhone 3gs and using it as an ipod and a secondary cellphone?

I have three cellphones and no home phone. I have 3GS that that's stock, fast, and reliable. I have a 3G that jailbroken and unlocked with T-Mobile (prepaid acct- no monthly fee or data), so I can get my fix with customization and JB apps as well as have a phone that's ready to go for use with Prepaid SIM's all around the would for future traveling. I have a so far indestructible flip phone with Sprint, and only use it when I'm rollerblading etc so I don't have to risk breaking an iPhone. I forward my calls to the other (could also use GV) when not using the primary line. I'm only paying $105 after taxes for all three with my work discounts with Sprint and AT&T, so it's not like I'm wasting a lot of money to have three.

Yeah i think i might just do that and buy a 3gs. I can always forward my calls to one phone right even though the providers are different? Also i bought a Ipod Classic like 2 weeks ago i opened it and used it like twice can i still exchange it i know il loose like $25 or something like that but will they take it back for sure?

I was swapping with a Bold for awhile but it started getting annoying. It's only worth it if you have another line otherwise you'll get tired of swapping sims... fast. I'm not a big fan of the iPhone as an actual phone but it won hands down against the Bold - which is now being used as a paperweight along witha bunch of others.

I have a Sprint Treo but I wanted the iPhone before my contract was up so now I have 2 lines. I forwarded my Sprint number to iPhone. Just be aware there is a charge for each forwarded call. 20 cents per call in my case but very few calls came through on Sprint as most people had my new iPhone number as it was primary phone. I actually have 2 Sprint lines which is still far cheaper than my one AT&T account. Darn shame. Since I kept my 3G as backup phone I will discontinue both Sprint lines in next couple of months.

It was from the Sprint side only. I didn't even read my Sprint bill for a few months since I wasn't using the lines. Was surprised to see the charge. Thank goodness it was only about 5 times each month of forwarded calls. I have never tried forwarding my AT&T number but you may want to check your bill. The amount may be so small as not to notice a few extra bucks.
